| '''Roy''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. After being cut from ''Brawl'', he returns with significant buffs. In ''Project M'', he is one of two characters that were not originally playable in ''Brawl'', the other being {{PM|Mewtwo}}; in ''[[Project+]]'', he is one of three, with {{b|Knuckles|P+}} being the third.

| | |
| Roy ranks 29th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], in the C tier. This is only a slight improvement in terms of tier ranking—in ''Melee'', he is placed 21st out of 26, in the D tier—but balance in ''Project M'' is generally considered to be much better than in ''Melee'', and Roy is far more viable and has significantly improved tournament results compared to his ''Melee'' version.

| ==Attributes== | | ==Attributes== |
| Roy maintains the same archetype from ''Melee'', being a nimble fighter with relatively strong and fast attacks, an uncommon combination for a lightweight. He retains many of his attributes from ''Melee'', including a fast dash, a fast falling speed (the same as the significantly heavier {{PM|Donkey Kong}}), and an average air speed. As a swordsman, Roy's [[List of swords#Binding Blade|Binding Blade]] gives his attacks disjointed hitboxes, allowing him to carefully space between him and his opponents. Many of his attacks were heavily buffed in his transition from ''Melee'', becoming stronger, faster, better for comboing, easier to land due to increased reach, and better for finishing. Roy's greatest change, however, is his drastically improved aerial game (which was arguably the worst in ''Melee''). For instance, his sweetspotted down aerial is much stronger and now a [[spike]] as opposed to a [[meteor smash]], and his back aerial is a powerful finisher due to its significantly increased knockback.
| | <!--attributes paragraph--> |
| | | ===Changes from ''Melee'' to PM=== |
| One of the biggest flaws Roy had in ''Melee'' was his inability to combo due to his difficult-to-land attacks. As a result of their poor hitbox placements, it was very easy for Roy to land his sourspots, which caused low hitstun. This has been well addressed in ''Project M'', as his attacks are comparably easier to land and sweetspot as a result of their increased range. Because of this, they offer more hitstun than they did in ''Melee''. Roy's improved aerial game greatly benefits his comboing game, as he can now link multiple forward aerials consecutively and rack up damage more easily than before, and his up aerial has been strengthened, not enough to make it a reliable kill move, but enough to make it more efficient at juggling. In addition, Roy also has a very good approach due to having one of the best [[Short hop fast fall L-cancel|SHFFLs]] in the game due to his fast falling speed, moderately high gravity, and low short hop, coupled with his relatively low traction, giving him an above-average [[wavedash]] length.
| | [[File:Roy_PM_Forward_Tilt.jpeg|thumb|right|Roy performing his new Forward Tilt (angled diagonally upwards).]] |
| | | Roy has been heavily [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to PM and has been reworked to be more of a semi-clone of {{PM|Marth}}, rather than a [[clone]], in terms of animations and attack functions. |
| Roy's grab game is formidable. His up throw is the 9th strongest (10th if {{PM|Olimar}}'s is counted as two due to his purple and blue Pikmin being stronger) and has great chain grabbing potential against fast fallers. Additionally, Roy can force his opponent over to the edge and execute a good [[edgeguarding]] strategy by grabbing them, forward or down throwing them, and finishing them off with either his [[Flare Blade]] or side smash.
| | *{{buff|Jab deals higher damage and knockback with less endlag.}} |
| | | *{{buff|Forward tilt is now a quick, long-ranged stab, based off of Roy's attack animation as a Lord in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade}}''. It inflicts higher damage and knockback and can be [[angle]]d, and has less endlag than his old foward tilt.}} |
| However, Roy is not without his flaws. He retains his disjointed hitboxes' primary flaw from ''Melee'': the poor hitbox placements, as the tipper hitboxes of most attacks (neutral aerial and up smash are a few exceptions), retain their roles as the sourspots of his attacks, meaning that Roy is still forced to come up close to his opponents in order to be most efficient. However, because they are easier to land as a result of their increased range, this flaw does not adversely affect Roy nearly as much as it did in ''Melee''. Roy's primary flaws, however, are his susceptibility to combos despite his light weight, due to his fast falling speed, which also exacerbates his poor and easily [[gimp]]ed recovery, his other major flaw. On the upside, Roy can aid his recovery by using his side special, the [[Double-Edge Dance]], as the first hit grants him slightly more vertical distance and longer airborne time. Also, his fast falling speed enhances his vertical endurance, making him moderately difficult to KO vertically. Despite this, Roy's vertical endurance is only average relative to the cast (18th overall, which is relatively worse than in ''Melee'') due to being lighter than many other characters. In conclusion, Roy can be considered a rush-down glass cannon like the [[space animal]]s, because while he possesses devastatingly powerful attacks in his repertoire in addition to an effective combo game, his survivability is below average due to being an easy-to-combo lightweight with a lackluster recovery.
| | *{{buff|Up tilt deals higher damage and knockback and now covers a larger, half-circle area above Roy. It additionally starts from his back (the opposite of {{PM|Marth}}'s), allowing to quickly repel opponents that manage to [[cross-up|cross him up]], and has less endlag.}} |
| | | *{{buff|Foward smash has a hard to land "sweeterspot" that has higher KO potential. Sourspot deals higher damage and knockback.}} |
| Overall, thanks to the buffs he received, his combo game and overall power have been improved significantly, thus making him be a more formidable fighter than he was before in ''Melee''.
| | *{{buff|Down smash is now a spinning sword sweep with less ending lag and same KO power as in ''Melee''; however, it deals strong knockback even from behind and overall has more utility than his previous one. It also has a flame effect.}} |
| | | *{{buff|Up smash has a flame effect and does much more damage with higher knockback.}} |

Now strikes 3 times in front of Roy and twice behind, and the second and third strikes do not have a sourspot. It also has a flame effect on the 2nd and 3rd hits.}} |
| Roy has been heavily [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to PM and has been reworked to be more of a semi-clone of {{PM|Marth}}, rather than a [[clone]], in terms of animations and attack functions. In addition, his buffs have increased his overall KO potential and made him become on par Marth as opposed to weaker. | | *{{buff|New back aerial is a horizontal slice that deals higher damage and much more knockback, making it a powerful finisher.}} |
| | | *{{buff|Down aerial has less endlag and deals more damage, and the sweetspots are easier to land. Its strongest hitbox is a very strong spike located between Roy's head and the base of his blade. It also has a flame effect.}} |

| ===Aerial Attacks===
| |
| *{{buff|All aerials deal more damage (4% (hit 1)/8%/6% (hit 2) → 4%/10% (neutral), 8%/5% → 12%/9% (forward), 9%/6% → 16%/11% (back), 9%/6% →12%/8% (up), 9%/6% → 12%/18%/9% (down)).}}

| *{{buff|[[Neutral aerial]] has an altered animation. Roy now does a full outward 360° spin four times with his sword extended with both hands.

| *{{buff|Forward aerial deals more knockback overall (30 base/70 growth (sweetspot) → 40/50, 10 base/70 growth (sourspot) → 30/65), and has more favorable knockback angles (361° (both) → 50° (sweetspot)/45° (sourspot)), increasing their combo and KO potentials.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Back aerial]] has an altered animation. Roy now does a turn-around horizontal slash rather than an inward one, similar to Ike's back aerial. It has less start-up with a longer duration (frame 8-10 → 7-11), and deals more knockback (30/10 (base)/70 (growth) → 20 (base)/100/70 (growth)). Combined with its increased damage output, this significantly increases back aerial's KO potential.}} | |
| *{{change|Back aerial's altered animation increases it horizontal reach, but decreases its vertical reach.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Up aerial]] has more favorable knockback (20/10 (base)/70 (growth) → 45/30 (base)/40 (growth)). Combined with its increased damage output, this increases its juggling potential.}}
| |
| *{{buff|[[Down aerial]] has less landing lag (32/16 → 25/12), and its meteor sweetspot is now a [[spike]] instead of a meteor smash (270° → 281°). Combined with its doubled damage output, this makes it drastically more powerful despite its decreased knockback growth (70 → 60). It also has a larger and more favorably placed hitbox, now located between Roy's head and the base of his blade, making it easier to land and combo into. Non-spike sweetspot and sourspot hitboxes of down air additionally deal less knockback (40 (base)/70 (growth) → 30/60), and have altered angles (361°/90° → 90°/37°), increasing their combo potentials.}}

Also, at the height of the jump Roy can grab the ledge when he is facing away from it, similar to [[Falcon Dive]] and [[Dark Dive]].}} | |
| *{{buff|[[Counter]] has more favorable knockback (30 (base)/90/70 (growth) → 90 (base)/40 (growth)), making it safer when countering weaker moves, while still being able to KO when countering stronger moves.

| ==Changes from ''PM'' to ''P+''==
| |
|
| |
|
| ===Aesthetics===
| | In terms of cosmetics, Roy's blue costume was touched up from ''Melee'', now having lighter hair, white trousers instead of blue, and the inside of the cape being red rather than yellow. This makes Roy's blue costume look the most like his appearance in ''Fire Emblem: The Binding Blade'' aside from the silver highlights in his armor, though they look less pronounced now. Additionally, he has a new black costume. His up [[taunt]] involves him pointing his sword forward while saying "{{ja|僕 は 負けない.}}" (Boku wa Makenai) meaning "I won't lose", and his side taunt involves him pointing his sword up, then swinging it across his body, and pointing it behind him, identical to his father {{s|fireemblemwiki|Eliwood}}'s pre-critical animation as a Lord in ''{{s|fireemblemwiki|Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword}}'', while his down taunt is that from ''Melee''. For his [[on-screen appearance]], Roy comes onto the stage with a magic warp similar to how {{SSBB|Marth}} does, but strikes a different pose (same as his Down Taunt from Melee) and shouts "Hee-ya!". |
| *{{change|Roy's ''Awakening'' recolor has been replaced by the actual costume that was originally intended to appear in ''Project M''. This costume comes with recolors for [[Team Battle|Teams]].}}
| |

| !Up smash | | !Up smash |
| | Flame Sword || {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|2}} (hits 1-4), {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|12}} (hit 5) || Thrusts his sword skyward as it ignites in flames. This move has low start up, but high ending lag with decent vertical range. This move traps opponents in for great damage, and can link into combos at low percentages. The tip of the sword can [[spike]] enemies at the very first frames of the attack, just as long as they don't link to another part of the sword. Causes a [[flame]] effect, should it hit. | | | Scorch Sword || A total of {{ChargedSmashDmgSSBM|20}} || An upward thrust above Roy's body. Low start up lag with high end lag, and decent vertical range. It traps opponents in for great damage, and can link into combos at low percentages.

| |- | | |- |
| !Forward aerial | | !Forward aerial |
| | || 12% (sweetspot), 9% (sourspot) || Identical to Marth's, Roy does a quick swipe forward. Despite the sourspot dealing relatively less damage than that of the sweetspot, it ironically delivers more horizontal knockback, making it the only move whose sourspot is technically stronger than its sweetspot. Often a main combo tool, but can still be [[Punishment|punished]] if used incorrectly. | | | Aerial Swipe || 12% (sweetspot), 9% (sourspot) || Same as Marth's. A fast swipe in front of Roy. Low start lag with somewhat moderate end lag, and moderate landing lag. Sweetspot (middle of the sword) gives more damage and knockback, while sourspot (near the tip of the sword) causes relatively low damage and mediocre knockback. Often a main combo tool but can still be punished if used incorrectly. |
| |- | | |- |
| !Back aerial | | !Back aerial |
| | || 16% (sweetspot), 11% (sourspot) || Similar to Ike's back aerial, Roy performs a quick horizontal outward slash behind him. It is a decent tool for edgeguarding and [[gimping]], though it is somewhat more difficult to connect due to the smaller, horizontal hitbox. Like Marth's back aerial, this move turns Roy around. | | | Razor's Edge || 16% (sweetspot), 11% (sourspot) || Similar to Ike, Roy performs a quick horizontal outward slash behind him. Can turn Roy around. Very low start lag, but very high end lag, with moderate landing lag. It is a decent tool for edge-guarding and gimping, though it is somewhat more difficult to connect due to the smaller, horizontal hitbox. |
| |- | | |- |
| !Up aerial | | !Up aerial |
| | || 12% (sweetspot), 8% (sourspot) || Swipes his sword upwards, front to back, in a delayed backflip. The sweetspot has been given more knockback so Roy can execute better combos and juggles. However, the sourspot has lower damage and mediocre knockback. Closely identical to Marth's up aerial, but is considerably better at juggling due to the lower knockback, at the cost of being unreliable at KOing. | | | Luna Slash || 12% (sweetspot), 8% (sourspot) ||Same as Marth's. An outward upward slash, causing Roy to somersault in a delay. Moderate start lag, high end lag, and moderate landing lag.

| |- | | |- |
| !Down aerial | | !Down aerial |
| | || 18% (body), 12% (blade), 9% (tip) || Identical to Marth's, Roy swipes his sword below via an outward wide slash. This move has been drastically changed from ''Melee''. Though it retains the same start up, its ending and landing lag has been sped up. The middle of the blade is stronger, and its power is in between those of the sourspot and sweetspot. The sweetspot's knockback, positioned between Roy's head and his sword's hilt when the move is executed, has drastically been increased, making it better for edgeguarding. Additionally, it is no longer a [[meteor smash]], but a powerful fiery [[spike]], which means it cannot be [[meteor cancel]]ed, making it an even more dangerous move. However, other than a slight increase in damage, its sourspot has barely been changed. | | | Half Moon || 9% (tip) 12% (middle), 18% (sweetspot) || Same as Marth's. An outward pendulum slash downwards. It has been changed from ''Melee'' drastically. Though it retains the same start lag, its ending and landing lag has been sped up. Also, its meteor smash range has been increased to the middle of the blade, and its knockback has been increased, making it even more dangerous. However, its sourspot has barely been changed. Should the sweetspot ([[meteor smash]]) connect, it causes a flame effect. |

This move can be charged, with the damage of the attack increasing the longer the special button is held. When fully charged, Roy slams his sword on the ground and produces a powerful explosion that can break [[shield]]s and deals a ton of damage and knockback, being able to [[one-hit KO]] almost any character. However, Roy receives 10% recoil damage in the process. | | | [[Flare Blade]] || 10% minimum, 50% maximum. || Similar to Marth's [[Shield Breaker]], Roy charges his sword for a powerful overhead slash, which can cause a flame effect.

The third and fourth strikes have significant differences between each variation, allowing for Roy to adjust the attack based on the situation. The animations of each strike have been drastically changed; in particular the downward variation of the 4th strike is based {{s|wikipedia|Sol Badguy}}'s Gun Flame attack from the ''{{s|wikipedia|Guilty Gear}}'', as well as his Order-Sol/past-self's Fafnir Prototype version. |

Similar to Marth's [[Dolphin Slash]], though noticeably different in that it hits multiple times, is slower, and has significant hang time, giving Roy somewhat of an advantage against impromptu [[edge-guard]]ing attempts. The move's animation in Project M has been modified as a reference to the Ryuuenjin (Dragon Flame Blade) used by [[Zero (Mega Man)|Zero]] in ''[[Mega Man (universe)|Mega Man]] X4'' and [[Capcom]]'s ''Vs.'' series of games. | | | [[Blazer]] || 5% blade, 2% flames.

| | [[Counter]] || 1.5x damage of countered move (min 1%) || Roy briefly flashes while entering a defensive stance, allowing him to counterattack within the first few frames of animation with a fiery slash. Opponents that attack Roy will be struck back with 1.5x the damage the attack would have normally dealt. Performing this move slows Roy's descent while airborne. | | | [[Counter]] || x1.5 of countered move || Roy briefly flashes while entering a stance, allowing him to counterattack within the first few frames of animation.

At the sweetspot, near the base, there is a chance that the opponent may go into an upside-down "V" when hit, however, this doesn't happen at the sourspot. It also causes a flame effect. |

| !Final Smash | | !Final Smash |
| | [[Critical Hit]] || 20% (hit 1), 1% (hits 2-41), 20% (hit 42) || Roy starts his attack similarly to Marth's, where he brings his blade back and charges. However, unlike Marth's version, he unleashes a large column of fire, which is strikingly similar to [[Entei]]'s Fire Spin attack. Usually a [[one-hit KO]]. Like Marth, using it in the air without any intervening terrain will cause Roy to self-destruct (which can be avoided by pressing an attack button). The Final Smash is somewhat cinematic, causing the camera to focus directly on to Roy if he connects the attack. | | | Critical Hit || 80% || Roy starts his attack similarly to Marth's, where Roy brings his blade back and lunges at the opponent before performing a inward slash at them, and performing a series of slashes (outward swing, upward scoop cut, downward slash similar to Flare Blade, back-drawing swipe, a turning leaping outward slash from a landing similar to a Myrmidon's hit animation from the GBA Fire Emblem games; a total of six blows beforehand) before igniting his sword with a skyward point with two hands, and then slamming it down, unleashing a large column of fire to send the opponent flying. Usually a [[One-hit KO]] against most characters. Like Marth's, using it in the air without any intervening terrain, will cause Roy to self-destruct (which it can be avoided by pressing an attack button). The Final Smash is somewhat cinematic, causing the camera to pan to the direction Roy performs the attack at should he successfully connect it. Reuses a bit of slash lines from Ike's Great Aether for the first few initial blows, especially having the third slash resemble a part of Ike's Final Smash a lot. |

| | *Roy's sound effects replace [[Duon]]'s, resulting in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHkl_8HWqG0 atypical behaviour] when fighting it. |
| **In addition, when accessing [[replay]]s in ''Brawl'', Roy shows up as {{SSBB|Mario}}.
| | *Roy's voice is heard when he is in his [[Metal]] form. He shares this distinction with Mewtwo due to their sound effects replacing Subspace Emissary bosses. |
| **Furthermore, clearing Classic or All-Star Mode with Roy grants the player the Roy trophy in ''Project+''.
| | *The voice clip from Roy's up taunt comes from one of his victory quotes in Melee. |
| *Unlike Mewtwo, Roy does not have a specific Wii Remote select sound; it is nothing more than a generic, metal clanking sound.
| | *Unlike Mewtwo, Roy does not appear to have a specific Wii Remote select sound; it is nothing more than a generic, metal clanking sound. |
| *The voice clip from Roy's up taunt comes from one of his victory quotes in ''Melee''.
| | :*He doesn't have any special costume either compared to Mewtwo. |
| **By pure coincidence, this voice clip (albiet re-recorded) would go on to be used in one of {{SSB4|Roy}}'s taunts in ''Smash 4''.
| |
| *Before ''Project+'' came to be, there were some minor oddities with Roy's voice clips during battle, distinctions shared by fellow clone engine fighter {{PM|Mewtwo}}. This is no longer the case, as they now have their own soundback with enhanced voice and sound effects. The following oddities were removed:
| |
| **Roy's voice and sound effects were of a significantly lower quality than those featured in ''Melee'', although an [http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=207340 unofficial patch] proved that this was unnecessary for the official release of Project M.
| |
| **Roy's voice could be heard when he entered [[Metal]] form.
| |
| **Prior to Project M v3.6 Beta, Roy's sound effects replaced [[Duon]]'s, resulting in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHkl_8HWqG0 atypical behaviour] when fighting it. After 3.6, his sound effects were then shared with {{PM|Marth}}.
| |
| *As of Project +, Roy is still missing his sheathe. The PMDT's reason for this is due to file size and clipping issues; this was before later versions of BrawlBox gained a model optimizer, as importing such objects then would have caused the game to crash. | |
| **As newer versions of BrawlBox now exist, file size and clipping issues are little to non-existent. There also exist [http://forums.kc-mm.com/Gallery/BrawlView.php?Number=207127 unofficial patches] for Roy in this scenario, which have no issues on file size whatsoever, and the sheathe clips roughly as much as those of other existing characters on Project M's roster. | |
| *If Roy is under the effects of a Turbo and performs his neutral aerial right after using [[Blazer]] on a large character such as {{PM|Bowser}}, Roy will launch high up into the air. A similar situation applies to Marth.
| |
| *Roy is one of the only two characters to have two [[spike]]s; the other is {{PM|Donkey Kong}}. Coincidentally, they share the same falling speed. | |
| *If one were to delete the custom file used for the announcer calls in ''Project M'' and select Roy in-game, it reveals to use the clip for {{SSBB|Pokémon Trainer}}. On the Sound Test, Roy's announcer selection call goes where Pokémon Trainer would go. | |
